This is a pen,
you use it
to write words
and tell stories
This is paper,
upon which you write
those stories
This is a novel,
you read it
to gain insight
into the magical loneliness
of existence
This is a poem,
you read it
every day
to understand
that someone
appreciated
your creations,
and to remind yourself
of your great contributions
to literature
"For Gabriel García Márquez, upon learning he has Alzheimer's"
